عَارِيَّةٌ ذ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and sometimes عَارِيَةٌ, without teshdeed, (Msb, K,) when used in poetry, (Msb,) and ↓ عَارَةٌ, (S, O, K,) What is taken by persons by turns; expl. by مَا تَدَاوَلُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ: (K:) [generally meaning a loan: and the act of lending; ] the putting one in possession of the use of a thing without anything given in exchange: (KT, and Kull p. 262:) the returning of the thing thus termed is obligatory, when the thing itself remains in existence; and if it has perished, then one must be responsible for its value, accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee, but not accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh: (TA:) pl. [of the first] عَوَارِىُّ, (S, O, Msb, K,) and [of the second] عَوَارٍ. (Msb, K.) A poet says, وَا@لْعَوَارِىُّ قَصَارٌ أَنْ تُرَدْ اـِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا عَارِيَّةٌ [ Our souls are only a loan: and the end of loans is their being given back: تُرَدْ being for تُرَدَّ]. (S, O.) عَارِيَّةٌ is of the measure فَعْلِيَّةٌ: Az says that it is a rel. n. from عَارَةٌ, which is a subst. from اـِعَارَةٌ: (Mgh, * Msb:) Lth says that what is thus called is so called because it is a disgrace (عار) to him who demands it; and J says the like; and some say that it is from عَارَ الفَرَسُ, meaning, “ the horse went away from his master: ” but both these assertions are erroneous; since عاريّة belongs to art. عور, for the Arabs say هُمْ يَتَعَاوَرُونَ العَوَارِىَّ, meaning they lend [ loans ], one to another; and عَارٌ and عَارَ الفَرَسُ belong to art. عير: therefore the correct assertion is that of Az. (Msb.)
